Our picture this morning shows seven of the suspects in the fatal attack on a soldier at a military prison in the south begging for forgiveness to the dead man’s mother.

The seven are part of a group of ten suspects held in the killing of Yuthkinan Boonniam who was brutally beaten while in detention at Vibhavadi Rangsir Military Camp in Surat Thani, reported Thai Rath.

Yuthkinan died on Saturday.

Police in the town have been investigating after the military said they would not interfere in the matter.

The mother has received 100,000 baht so far from the army.

The “graap” is a Thai gesture where the hands and head are placed on the floor before a person either to show respect or, in this case, remorse and asking for forgiveness.

The mother had earlier indicated she was willing to accept the apology and will proceed to cremate the body of her son next Monday.
